10 Classic Wedding Hair Styles We Love

in Attire and Beauty

The perfect wedding hairstyle is ultimately the one that YOU love – whether it’s simple or elaborate – and one that will feel comfortable and natural on the big day. Browse through your favorite bridal magazines for styles that catch your eye, and start a collection of clippings that you can bring in to your stylist for a trial of your hairstyle.

Pro Tip: Keep an open mind when exploring different hairstyle options with your stylist. Just because you see a hairstyle on another bride that you think would be absolutely perfect, it may not frame your face the same way and you might decide to go onto your second or third choice.

Our advice is to simply go in with a general idea of what you’d like to see your hair look like on the big day – whether it be an elaborate updo, a simple pulled-back style to reflect your natural beauty, or a style that can accommodate your veil, hair jewelry or live flowers – and let your hair stylist work his or her magic.

Once you’ve settled on your dream “do”, take several pictures after the hair trial so that your stylist can recreate your perfect bridal hairstyle on the day of your wedding. And most importantly…relax! Everything will be perfect. 🙂
